Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a cleaning tool for collecting dust on a surface to be cleaned such as a carpet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art To clean carpets, etc.
In the cleaning tool described in Japanese Patent No. 256959, a large number of projections are planted on a cleaning work surface provided opposite to a carpet, a nonwoven fabric is pierced into the projections, and the projection is moved back and forth on the carpet for use. In this prior art, the protrusions entangle the dust between the hair feet of the carpet and dust entangled in the hair feet,
Then, the entangled dust can be removed from the projection by the nonwoven fabric removed from the base side of the projection.

[0003]

However, in the prior art, when the cleaning tool is moved on the carpet,
The protrusions are pressed directly against the fabric surface of the carpet and move while bending in one direction.Therefore, the friction between the cleaning tool and the carpet is large, making it difficult to clean. Therefore, new dust can no longer be captured after a certain amount of dust is entangled at the tip of the projection and becomes saturated.
Furthermore, the hairs of the carpet are pressed directly, and the tips of the projections penetrate deep into the carpet and close to the fabric surface, so that the hairs of the carpet may be pulled out or damaged.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to smoothly move on a surface to be cleaned such as a carpet and to collect dust with high efficiency without damaging the carpet surface.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cleaning tool main body, wherein the cleaning tool main body is supported on a surface to be cleaned and a gap is provided between the surface to be cleaned and the cleaning sheet. A plurality of projections planted on the cleaning work surface provided opposite to the surface to be cleaned of the cleaning tool body, and a projection planted on the cleaning work surface of the cleaning tool body. It has an adhesive cleaning sheet that is pierced and attached to the cleaning work surface. Here, in the case of the carpet, the surface to be cleaned is a front end surface constituted by the front ends of the hairy feet.

[0006]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the following effects are obtained. The cleaning tool main body is supported on a surface to be cleaned such as a carpet via a support, and moves while forming a gap between the surface to be cleaned and the cleaning sheet. For this reason, the projections planted on the cleaning work surface move between, for example, between the hairs on the surface of the material to be cleaned without hitting the surface of the material to be cleaned, and dust or hairs between the hairs. The dust entangled in the cleaning sheet is scraped out, and the scraped-out dust is sent to the adhesive surface of the cleaning sheet as if the dust was scraped off by restoring the elastic bending deformation. Further, when the cleaning tool is moved, the hairs on the surface to be cleaned, which have been pressed and deformed by the projections, are restored after the projections are released, so that the dust in the carpet is sent so as to fly to the adhesive surface of the cleaning sheet. In the process of moving on the surface to be cleaned, the cleaning tool repeats scraping of the dust by the above-described protrusions and feeding of the dusts to the cleaning sheet, so that the dust collection and saturation state at the tip of the protrusions is increased. Without forming, the dust accumulates on the adhesive surface of the cleaning sheet. Therefore, dust collection efficiency can be improved.

[0007] The cleaning tool collects a large amount of dust on the adhesive surface of the cleaning sheet, and when the cleaning sheet is removed from the projection, the dust adheres to the cleaning sheet without dropping off from the cleaning sheet due to the adhesive force of the cleaning sheet. It can be easily retained and disposed of, and cleaning workability can be improved.

[0008] Since the cleaning tool is not a solid adhesive like an adhesive roll, it does not peel off the hairs of the carpet and has a space for collecting dust in the vertical direction on the adhesive surface unlike the pressing of the adhesive roll. Dust collection is high.
